The Soft X-ray – ultraviolet (SUV) beamline is a state-of-the-art beamline producing photons with selective polarizations. i.e. linear and circular polarized light. It covers the photon energy range from soft X-ray to ultraviolet, which can be used for various advanced optical, spectroscopy and scattering measurements. It consists of three main end stations for: (1) state-of-the-art 5-circle resonant soft X-ray scattering, (2) high-resolution spin and angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and (3) in-situ growth pulse laser deposition molecular beam epitaxy. This integrated characterization-and-growth facility aims to study and distinguish the interplay between spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom of advanced materials from solid state physics to biological systems, with various forms, e.g. nanoparticle, ultrathin film to bulk.
